Classical Music for Aficionados
Finally getting around to listening to the Currentzis Mahler 6.  After the overwhelming Tchaikovsky Pathetique it was a must-listen.So, not as transformative, but interesting nevertheless..Tempos are generally brisk in movements 1 and 2, with just... 
Joseph Audio dealers
There certainly isn't a dealer in DC itself or the surrounding suburbs.  If there were, I'd have been there by now.  Nothing in Virginia I know of; you'll have to look in Delaware, Maryland, even Pennsylvania.  Did you try calling them on the phone? 
New SR Orange fuse ...
Best left to macerate for several days in the fridge before installation. 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary
Similar to a number of the old ProAc models, with off-centered tweeters.If they're close-ish to side walls, "inside" would be recommendable.If plenty of space, "outside" will probably give a wider soundstage.Really, more room to experiment (or obs... 
I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology
So something like the Piega C711 is a real outlier.  Interesting technology, though. 
Considering Harbeth C 7ES-3
How hot do you like your porridge?I heard the SHL5+ in a room with solid brick walls and driven by high-end Naim equipment, and they were brighter than I had expected.  I commented to the salesperson and he replied (don't know if truthfully or jus... 
Thiel Owners
If you try the Benchmark, you could consider a pair for either horizontal or vertical biamping.  Just don't bridge them... (see the parallel thread on bridged stereo amps into lower impedances...) 
Speakers for Luxman NeoClassico II System
One of the Audio Note models would work well and give you more flexibility with positioning than most. 
Am I the only one who doesn’t love Harbeth P3esr?
Something is strangely wrong if the P3 sounds brighter than the LS50. 
SUT's -Looking for one with some meat on the bones
@mckinneymike I agree 100% with your evaluation and can confirm from my own listening experience.  I compared the D7s directly against Classic 100s, same room, same system, same (long) afternoon, same music.  For me, the Classic 100s were signifi... 
Wharfedale Elysian?
U.S. price? 
McIntosh MPC500 vs Inakustik 3500P
Inakustik, obviously.  Have you read the threads about it here?

Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Already in stages of initial development: a sort of pallid greenish indigo. Will quite literally blow everything out of the water. 
Classical Music for Aficionados
Elgar #3 (!), completed by Anthony Payne.  Very fine recording--the way full orchestras need to be recorded.  So far the symphony itself is not convincing me.  Clearly Elgar's genius lay in shorter-form orchestral works, which are splendid.  Cuein...
